## Overview

Philatelyworld is a static stamp-collecting and marketplace website. The main user workflow is to browse stamp listings, open item pages, and discover collecting stories; the site also offers albums, announcements, news, and exhibition listings. The repository includes scripts that collect and publish news and exhibition data, plus a miniature-sheet data and page-generation feature. Connections between the unsampled site modules are shown only as unverified; the news and exhibition publishing relationships are supported by excerpts.

Main entry points: [`docs/data.js`](https://github.com/ravindraten/philatelyworld/blob/main/docs/data.js) (Stamp Catalog), [`docs/index.html`](https://github.com/ravindraten/philatelyworld/blob/main/docs/index.html) (Website Shell), [`docs/news.json`](https://github.com/ravindraten/philatelyworld/blob/main/docs/news.json) (News Data), [`docs/exhibitions.json`](https://github.com/ravindraten/philatelyworld/blob/main/docs/exhibitions.json) (Exhibition Data)
